Thanks. Having said that, we do link with and depend on libraries like libcURL, libPCRE, libz, etc. I wonder if they are also worth reporting, and if so how? We can leave it just like any other new features, "if you have an itch to see it, you can offer a patch", but I am wondering if we are going to get a several more, we'd at least want to standardize the process and the output (e.g., do we limit the line counts to 1 and line length to some reasonably low number?). Thanks.
